So, "always be fundraising" and "always be recruiting" and "always be learning from customers" and "always be improving product/market fit" and "always don't go broke" and so on? I can understand parallel-tracking some of these things, but

The ceiling, in this case, is $6/hour. The floor is $.25 per hour. Yep, in some areas at some times of day, parking that was formerly expensive (but lightly used) could become free.

Why should parking cost a whole lot more in the future? This system is being managed with the goal of ~85% occupancy - if there is less than that, prices will be lowered, eventually to $0, to seek optimal occupancy at all times. The only wa

Sorry, in this case you are mistaken - the sensors in San Francisco will not be used for meter-zeroing. In fact, they can't be used for meter-zeroing - while they are fairly accurate, they are not accurate enough for this feature. Imagine i

But, if you've done too much building, generated too much revenue, got too many customers, you grow right past the "sweet spot" for YC and become less likely to be accepted - so, what is the optimal amount of building by the time your YC ap

I've been working the SBA loan route for a while now, and I'm preparing to post a summary of my experiences to HN. If anyone out there has also tried to get SBA-backed loans for a startup, holler and maybe we'll co-write some tips for other

It is not "wrong" to put Google Analytics at the start of the page - in fact, Google _requires_ it for some GA features to work (like Event Tracking).

I'm looking for some front-end web app development help for my revenue-generating startup. We are preparing to grow rapidly this fall and could use a hand for as short as a few weeks, or as long as permenantly. We need some straightforward

I've started businesses in a diverse range of industries: automobile parking, gourmet packaged foods, real estate, online retailing, physical retail. One key difference I've noticed between industries is the speed with which they adopt tech

Given how important deal flow is to both Angels and VCs, and given that Angela invest in a FAR higher number of deals, why do angels keep such a low profile? Aren't they concerned that they'll miss out on hearing about deals because the fou

Having a C Corp is necessary only if you are seeking _venture_ funding. Other funding, like angels, friends+family, etc is available to just about all types of corporate structure, depending on the skill of your lawyer in setting up the inv

It is trivially easy to convert from S Corp to C Corp - one quick letter to the IRS and you are done - no lawyer necessary. I organized my last startup as an S Corp so that initial losses would flow through to me, the founder and primary in

Because there is not nearly enough value there to make it worthwhile to "buy" something - you've probably heard again and again that the idea is relatively worthless, it is the execution that brings value. VCs doing this could also get a ba

That's when you need to find someone like me - a serial startup CEO who is probably not as good at you as coming up with great business ideas, but is certainly better than you at pitching VCs - there was a post on HN recently about finding

Get rid of the ads - you'll make the majority of your money from affiliate fees when your site visitors sign-up for the apps you review, so why clutter the site with ads too?

Oh heck yeah, this would make HN WAY more useful to me. Currently I work around this by forcing myself to wait a while before visiting the comments page, then visiting it just once, because if I come back it is typically too time consuming

How does one "ask HN" to find a co-founder in a way that is acceptable to this community? Can I really make a post saying something like "My early-stage, pre-funding, revenue-generating startup is looking for a technical co-founder"? I thou

I had great success generating extra interest in an open position for a senior software / CTO position by advertising that we had a "dog friendly" workplace, and that I, the CEO, would be delighted to walk the dog during the day.

This works for me - barely. While the finances are fine, the stress level at home can get out of hand. Having a well-paid spouse who is willing to accept the uncertainty inherent in early-stage, pre-funding startups is MUCH more difficult t

None of the above. Don't deal with all that hassle (and a major hassle it can be!) and use http://www.zuora.com instead - they are cheap for what they save you!
